I'll check out the thread on adrenal functioning. I have heard adrenal "burnout" can cause a lot of the symptoms I have been experiencing. I briefly looked at the book about adrenal fatigue in the 21st century. I 'll take a closer look at it.
I'm currently 38 and as my doc explained my dhea-s is on the low side. When I was around 21, I had a doc check my dhea-s and he also mentioned that it was on the low side. In the past, I have experienced strong sugar cravings and a lot of stress over many years. I have to say that after beginning
testosterone and
Hcg my mood psychologically has been more balanced. I do not crave sugar and I feel more grounded.
Over many years I have tried the herbal anti-depressents but I always ended up with a detached feeling that I could not stand. I did not want to try the prescription anti-depressents because they are usually a lot stronger acting on my body and I don't like to feel like I'm beside myself. Finally, I did not want to risk lossing an already low libido and all the other side-effects from some of the anti-depressents.
I will lay off the
nolvadex and not start any other anti-aromatase inhibitors. Hopefully, this will allow my estradiol to increase but not too much as I don't want to experience gyno.
Thanks again,
